# Projects and setup

> Add a site as a project, walk through its six setup steps and start daily AI visibility tracking.

A project tracks how AI assistants talk about one site in one market. Add a project for each site you want to track, then finish its setup to start daily tracking. In the sidebar, click the project name and choose **All projects**.

![The Projects page listing three projects with their 7-day visibility, tracking state and last run](https://mintcdn.com/se-omator/LHKLDWeFBDdpYX2o/images/projects.light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=LHKLDWeFBDdpYX2o\&q=85\&s=6ca05c815acd74fea98442eb2373d46c)

## The projects list

| Column | What it shows |
| - | - |
| Project | The project name and its domain. |
| Visibility · 7 days | Your [Visibility](https://docs.seomator.com/reports/metrics.md#brand-metrics) over the last 7 days, and its change in pts. |
| Tracking | **Active**, **Paused**, **Setting up** or **Not started**. |
| Last run | When the last daily run happened, or **No run yet**. |

Click a project to open its reports. A project that is still **Setting up** shows **Finish setup** and opens its setup instead.

## The row menu

Hover a row and click **⋯** for more actions:

* **Pin to sidebar** or **Unpin from sidebar**
* **Copy link**: copies a link to the project's Insights report
* **Project settings**
* **Delete project**: removes its jobs and results for everyone in the organization. See [Project settings](https://docs.seomator.com/setup/project-settings.md#delete-a-project).

## Create a project

Add a site you want to track.

**1. Open the dialog**

On the Projects page, click **New project**, or press <kbd>C</kbd>.

**2. Enter the site**

In the **New project** dialog, enter the **Name** and **Domain**. Write the
domain without `https://`, for example `example.com`.

**3. Create it**

Click **Create project**.

SEOmator opens the project's setup.

## Set up the project

Setup has six steps. The step list shows where you are, and your progress saves as you go: you can click **Exit** and come back later through **Finish setup**. Click **Continue** to move to the next step, or **Back** to return.

**1. Check the profile**

In **Profile**, SEOmator reads your site and writes a profile: **Category**, **Business type**, a short description of what you sell, **Products** and **Buyer personas**. Check the **Country** and **Language** too. A project has one market; to track another market, add it as its own project. Edit anything that is wrong, then click **Looks good**.

If SEOmator can't read your site, describe in one line what you sell and it continues from there.

**2. Optional: connect Search Console**

In **Search Console**, click **Connect Google Search Console** and choose the property for this site. Access is read-only, and SEOmator uses it to show which searches already bring buyers to your site, with your Google position next to each keyword. You can disconnect it anytime from the [project settings](https://docs.seomator.com/setup/project-settings.md). To go on without it, click **Skip for now**.

**3. Review competitors**

In **Competitors**, review the brands AI names next to you. 5 to 8 competitors works best. Click **Add a competitor** to add one, or use a row's menu to edit or delete it. Your own brand must be in this list before you can start tracking. While you edit, SEOmator looks for more competitors in search data and AI answers.

**4. Review keywords**

In **Keywords**, review the searches your buyers type. The **Source** column shows where each one came from, for example **Search Console**, **You rank**, **Rivals rank**, **Related** or **Added by you**. Remove the ones you don't sell for, or click **Add a keyword**.

**5. Review prompts**

In **Prompts**, review the prompts SEOmator will ask AI every day, grouped by topic. Each prompt has an intent (**Research**, **Compare** or **Buy**) and is **Branded** or **Non-branded**. Add, edit or remove prompts and topics, or click **Regenerate** to write a new set from your profile.

**6. Start tracking**

In **Start tracking**, check the summary: your prompts, the assistants, your brand, competitors and keywords. Then click **Start daily tracking**. Nothing runs until you do.

Setup ends and the project opens on its [Insights report](https://docs.seomator.com/reports/insights.md). The first answers are requested right away, and after that the prompts run once a day. You can change prompts and competitors later from [Prompts](https://docs.seomator.com/setup/prompts.md) and [Competitors](https://docs.seomator.com/setup/competitors.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Each step can run at most 5 times a day. If a step says it already ran 5 times
> today, go on with what it found or try again tomorrow.
